Banq餐廳位是一家新型餐廳，位于便士?jī)?chǔ)蓄銀行（Penny Savings Bank）舊大樓以前用來(lái)經(jīng)營(yíng)銀行業(yè)務(wù)的大廳內(nèi)。餐廳分成兩個(gè)部分，前面區(qū)域面向華盛頓大街，設(shè)計(jì)成酒吧，后面的大廳則作為用餐區(qū)。然而，這個(gè)空間在z軸上以天花板和地面之間的另一個(gè)分區(qū)為中心進(jìn)行設(shè)計(jì)。如果由于餐廳空間活動(dòng)的多變性而需要保持靈活性——包括兩個(gè)座位、四個(gè)座位和六個(gè)座位，以及與聚會(huì)和其他活動(dòng)有關(guān)的座位配置——那么天花板就包含了一部分的固定的建筑物基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，即結(jié)構(gòu)、排水系統(tǒng)、機(jī)械設(shè)備、噴水系統(tǒng)、照明系統(tǒng)和其他聲學(xué)系統(tǒng)。為此，設(shè)計(jì)者開(kāi)發(fā)了一種條紋木板條系統(tǒng)，它能在縱向軸上隱藏機(jī)器、管道和照明系統(tǒng)，為使用者提供一個(gè)可供就餐的頂篷。木板材的幾何形狀與上述設(shè)備協(xié)調(diào)一致，但也采用輻射式，以便與其他毗鄰設(shè)備之間實(shí)現(xiàn)平滑過(guò)渡關(guān)系，營(yíng)造了無(wú)縫景觀(guān)。大廳中央的柱子和酒窖，起到了支撐樓層的作用，給人一種似乎是從天花板上懸掛下來(lái)的感覺(jué)。如果縱向軸強(qiáng)調(diào)無(wú)縫表面，那么橫向的視野就可以向上看到服務(wù)空間的條紋，使人產(chǎn)生神秘莫測(cè)的感覺(jué)。為了強(qiáng)調(diào)這一策略，天花板的某些區(qū)域采用“滴落”和“驟降”的處理方式，以確認(rèn)出口標(biāo)志的位置、照明功能以及其他細(xì)節(jié)。

Located in the old Penny Savings Bank, Banq is a new restaurant located at the base of the former banking hall. Divided into two segments, the front area on Washington Street is programmed as a bar, while the larger hall behind serves as the dining area. The design of the space, however,is conceptualized around another division, on the z axis, between the ceiling and the ground. If the ground needs to remain flexible as a result of fluctuating activities of the restaurant space--two seaters, fours, and sixes, among a range of other organizations related to parties and other events-- then, the ceiling contains fixed programs that are part of the building’s infrastructure-- the structure, drainage, mechanical equipment, sprinkler system, lighting, and other the acoustic systems. To that end, a striated wood-slatted system that conceals the view of the mechanical,plumbing, and lighting systems on the longitudinal axis was developed that offers a canopy under which to dine. The geometry of the wood slats conform to the equipment above, but are also radiused in order to smoothen the relationship between other adjoining equipment, creating a seamless landscape. The columns and the wine storage, in the middle of the hall, serve to uphold the fiction, and appear to be suspended from the ceiling. If the longitudinal axis emphasizes the seamless surface, then lateral views offer striated glimpses into the service space above, and demystify the illusion. To underline this strategy, certain areas of the ceiling “drip” and “slump”,acknowledging the location of exit signs, lighting features, and other details.
